  1. Max boost for AMD Ryzen processors is the maximum frequency achievable by a single core on the processor running a bursty single-threaded workload. Max boost will vary based on several factors, including, but not limited to: thermal paste; system cooling; motherboard design and BIOS; the latest AMD chipset driver; and the latest OS updates. GD-150
  2. Overclocking and/or undervolting AMD processors and memory, including without limitation, altering clock frequencies / multipliers or memory timing / voltage, to operate outside of AMD’s published specifications will void any applicable AMD product warranty, even when enabled via AMD hardware and/or software. This may also void warranties offered by the system manufacturer or retailer. Users assume all risks and liabilities that may arise out of overclocking and/or undervolting AMD processors, including, without limitation, failure of or damage to hardware, reduced system performance and/or data loss, corruption or vulnerability.

B650 motherboards that feature as good as expensive chipsets.

The motherboard fits perfectly into the black and white assembly, as the textolite is black, and all the radiators are light steel.

Building this PC was supposed to BE A TOY...

"affordable" white motherboard for Ryzen 7000

The cheapest ASUS Strix B650 A Gaming Wifi

In the run-up to ASRock's B650E Steel Legend WiFi, at the end of the day we'll recommend the Asus because it has a more modern audio unit, a better UEFI interface, and better software support.

Will you be looking for some entry-level B650E models for this money, or will you go for one of these tuned B650 models - I personally can't decide for you, but I can award a gold medal for everything shown, to this model!

A robust power delivery designed to handle the latest AMD Ryzen 7000 series processors is cooled by thick metal heatsinks that stand out against the black PCB. A PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot, support for fast DDR5 memory and the latest WiFi 6E network technology complete the futuristic feature set.

PCGaming.Tech

The design is very pleasing and follows that of other TUF Gaming products, with large heatsinks on the 12+2 phase VRMs, and 6+8 pin connectors for the CPU, an optimal section for even more power-hungry CPUs than the Ryzen 7600X. This motherboard represents one of the most complete budget-oriented offerings for the AM5 platform, great for high-performance builds with the Ryzen 5 7600X in mind.
